Until the very late 80's Flair was never on TV. You had to buy a ticket to see him. Once he was on TV every week, his matches were very routine. There's a match he did on TV with Tom Zenk that went nearly 20 minutes. It was the same match he had with Kerry Von Erich, Ricky Morton, Sting, hell the Mulkey brother
I mean really, how many times can you flip in the corner, go to the top rope and be slammed off the top? Or how many 60 minute draws can you do over and over?
Bret Hart's stuff was more believable and his matches were different. Randy Savage, Curt Henning, Nick Bockwinkel were also very good and better than Flair as far as in ring performances.
But yeah, Flair could talk you into the seat.
